T-C Line: Planning on paying it forward

We would like to thank the couple that paid for our dinner last evening at Red Lobster Restaurant. We will pay it forward, it was greatly appreciated.

Thanks for nothing

We attended a public hearing last night for the town of Mead regarding yet another oil and gas drilling site. While the entire crowd seemed soundly against it, the mayor refused to back us up. I'd like to say to the mayor of Mead, thanks for nothing.

Rec center personnel

• I want to throw my support behind to the people who work at the rec center. The people on the TC-Line who have been supporting them are right on the money. They have always been very pleasant and, personal opinion, cute as heck. I also wanna give support to somebody else who doesn't get the credit I think they personally deserve, the lifeguards at the swimming pool who are equally pleasant but keep everybody safe. So, I want to make sure they get their recognized due too.

• My family has been a member since opening day and I must be honest, I too have witnessed and been a victim of extreme rudeness, negativity, and authoritative behavior. It was for this reason I drove my family to another rec center where I received a kind smile and welcome and even a thank you for driving in the snow to be here in my class. I was shocked. It's then I realized how bad Longmont was. In Longmont I would have gotten, "class is full, go away." Recently I decided to give Longmont another try and noticed a young new-hire with a smile that actually said hello. We can all win and learn from this column and bring about continued change.

Road side memorials

I'm appalled that she would say even say that it was trash. Somebody's loved one was killed there and I heard that young gentleman was an awesome, awesome person. He loved everyone, he never had a frown on his face. He was always happy and helping others and I think it is a well maintained corner and she should realize that that's where someone's son took his last breath. To them, to be able to have a memorial there, and it is always well kept, I think it's a blessing. Also the girl that was killed on 23rd Avenue, she was 13 years old and she was hit by a truck, they also maintain their memorial beautifully. To me, it makes me thankful that I have my children and that every time I pass there I just feel such joy knowing that they are in heaven and they are always being thought of. They're someone's child.

Sunset Bridge

Why haven't I seen or heard anything about Sunset Bridge in Longmont? There's a charter school right on the other side of that. I used to see thousands of cars cross that bridge every morning and afternoon going to that school, yet I haven't heard a peep out of anybody. What is wrong with our city council? Maybe someone should light a fire under their butt.

Ripped off again

I noticed CDOT's got the Boulder Turnpike closed during the weekends. They must be boxing it up and shipping it to Australia. The legislature right now is on a spending spree that's been unequal in history and there would have been more than enough money in the current budget allocation to pay for a widening the Boulder Turnpike from Boulder to Denver. We have been ripped off again.

Message for engineers

I'd like to leave a message for the engineers. Hope they know what they are doing next time they're blasting the side of the road, seems like to me they miscalculated and took too much of the side off. They're gonna dynamite again, they need to take care of the self.

Laws are a joke

The texting and driving laws are a joke. All day long all I see are people texting while they drive, including police officers. It's never gonna be enforced and it might as well be taken off the books.

Daylight savings

They change daylight savings time in the spring and in the fall. People go on vacations and business trips to different time zones all the time, is that any less disruptive to your life?
